ACCESSORIES

For work with biological hazards, Germfree offers a HEPA Exhaust Filtration system to be used with the Class III BSC and other containment equipment.  This system provides HEPA filtered exhaust air that is 99.99% effective at 0.3 microns.  It is even more efficient for smaller and larger particles.

The NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) filtration system is designed for work in conjunction with the Class III Glovebox but can also be used with other containment equipment.  It utilizes redundant HEPA and Carbon filters with a breakthrough monitor placed between the two carbon filters.  If desired, the Carbon filters supplied can be Mil Spec ASZM-TEDA.  ASZM-TEDA carbon is activated and impregnated carbon developed by the U.S. Army to handle chemical weapons.  These filtration units are equipped with the following:

Rapid Transfer Ports can be incorporated in a wall or mounted in a cabinet. These containers provide a safe and easy method for moving specimens, materials, supplies and waste without breaking containment.  The RTPs come in various sizes and can be locked to meet requirements for Select Agent storage and to facilitate chain of custody transfer and reporting. 

U.S. Army SCBCOM developed these containers to enable a first responder or field collector to safely and securely transport samples containing hazardous chemicals, potential chemical warfare agents, and infectious biological materials from the point of collection to the LRN, Public Heath Lab, or other facilities for analysis. Transport Containers utilize RTP technology to maintain sample containment during transport and transfer.  The unit passes military and industrial hazardous sample container tests. Triple packaged samples are contained in a 60 ml primary container, placed in a 500 ml secondary container, and placed within the Stainless Steel Transport Container. 

All Germfree Class III BSC can be equipped with bubble-tight inlet and exhaust dampers to allow for gas decontamination Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide or Chlorine Dioxide.

Germfree offers a double door autoclave custom fitted for our Class III Systems.  This unit is equipped with interlocking doors which afford dual use as a pass-through. 

Pass-throughs and airlocks can be of virtually any size and can be equipped with the following:

• Windows
• Sliding Trays
• Gloveports
• Interlocks
• HEPA Purge
• Maximum of 4 doors
• Piping and ports for independent decontamination
• Chain of custody port

Cameras mounted inside the Class III BSCs allow additional viewers to witness manipulations while monitors inside the glovebox allow the user to review and adjust images prior to sending, as well as monitor activity outside of the laboratory.  All of the captured audio and video can be recorded internally or remotely to document chain of custody.
